You think it's inflammatory and aggressive to use the word 'jeering'?

I'm genuinely perplexed.

Perhaps you know a different definition from me?

I think it's really bad forum etiquette to start a thread about a private message, naming the person who sent it and publishing the content or alluding to what it was about.


If you're prepared to post on a public forum, and be quite antagonistic with it, then you can reasonably expect to receive a response on the forum or by PM.


I don't read the family room posts but from what I've seen of Londonmix on other parts of the forum comes across as a reasonable, fair and interesting poster whose contributions are worth reading. Increasingly rare qualities these days, in my opinion. LM has already politely explained their use of the word jerk and why they PMd rather than derailed the thread so no need to go on about other ridiculous things it could have meant. I'd be horrified if someone started a thread about a PM I'd sent. It's unnecessary and unpleasant behaviour.


If you're being "cyber-bullied" or receiving offensive, abusive PMs then that's another matter entirely. Nothing to see here tho.

Oh god blimey, wipe your mouth of it all


And offering to meet someone to 'have it out' is idiotic


Being called a jerk in a pm is pretty polite given the above


I'm thinking something stronger here

I hear the latest grand theft auto is centered around a fictional East Dulwich. Where nothing really happens except people abuse each other with childish names in drive by shoutings and message boards. Then bleat about a tree being damaged for the rest of the game.

If you do decide to have it out in person i would be happy to referee if you could make it a Friday morning as I'm turfed out of my flat by the cleaner #firstworldproblems

I just sent myself a PM calling myself a gentrifier. I've reported myself to the mods, the police and the rockers.

lol


This is probably the least risky forum in the world to act like an internet tough guy and ask people if they "want some". What are you going to do, throw their latte over their labradoodle? "Jerk" sounds like an okay description.

Not as rich as a 'newbie' writing that. Unless of course you aren't. In which case who were you before?

      and even since Tory austerity, they've been opening new build modern libraries - Canada Water, Camberwell, Una Marson, Grove Vale.

      Agree! I feel very lucky to live in a borough that has such great libraries.

      Also has a free film afternoon once a month… shows a range of films.. Free as well. On first floor. Not great toilets but still.. Staff are all very helpful. Have lessons one to one if you need help on most computer issues. Can borrow iPad as well on site - ground floor. Extremely well stocked library with some new titles as well.

      Just a short silly one among more prosaic or gloomy posts: libraries are brilliant and we are lucky to have them! I popped into Dulwich Library this afternoon. It was pretty busy and I'd guess there were probably 40-50 people in, plus however many in the kids' section. All sorts of people were borrowing books, getting their blood pressure checked on the machine, printing documents, using computers, getting out the house and off the street, reading the papers and reference books, whatever. Oldies, kids, students and everyone in between. At exam time, it's a safe space rammed with kids studying. It's an elegant building, the staff always seem to be doing their best despite the obvious money challenges, it's open late most days, and all for £0 at point of use. We are all very lucky to have access to Dulwich Library and the other libraries! 👏👏👏
